This act is an honour to all, and like listening to music, it is understood on an intuitive level. We also build fountains to commemorate life. Water is the basis for, and the symbol of, life. Many fountains are articulated to recognise some person, institution, or idea. Those particular recognitions are fused with water's deeper symbolism to convey everlastingness to the identities being celebrated.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eFountain Safari \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eplaces on the shelf a sharply focused, comprehensive, useful, entertaining, and hopefully lasting survey aimed to provide a panoramic portrait of the fountain class of artistic endeavour.
